Background color missing

#1 (**permalink**) 03-20-2008, 01:11 AM

:confused;
I'm a newbie just working on the Adobe Dreamweaver tutorial. It instructs me
to go to modify>page properties> click on the background color box and select
black (#000000). I did this and the background color is still without color.
When I open the page in Safari, the black color is there in the background. It
also is in the code.....
I also tried this before only with a large background image. It would not
appear on the page in Dreamweaver but was in the code and showed up when I
opened it in Safari. Please advise. Thanks so much!!

This page will definitely be black in DW. Are you sure you are looking at
the right page? Do you have styles enabled (VIEW | Style Rendering >
Display Styles)?
